Up on the Roof

Up On The Roof - The Drifters

Written by：Goffin/King

When this old world starts a getting me down

And people are just too much for me to face

Up on the roof

I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs

And all my cares just drift right into space

Up on the roof

On the roof it's peaceful as can be

And there the world below don't bother me

Let me tell you now when I come home feeling tired and beat

I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet

Up on the roof

I'll get away from the hustling crowd

And all the rat race noise down in the street

Up on the roof

On the roof the only place I know

Where you just have to wish to make it so

Let's go up on the roof

Up on the roof

Up on the roof

Up on the roof

At night the stars put on a show

For free

And darling you can share it all with me

Let me tell you now

Right smack dab in the middle of town

I found a paradise that's trouble proof

Up on the roof

And if this world starts a getting you down

There's room enough for two

Up on the roof up on the roof up on the roof

Up on the roof

Oh come on baby

Up on the roof

Oh come on darling

Up on the roof

Up on the roof

Up on the roof
